Carol Kaye - Boogaloo

[limodrivermike]

so great. i had that vinyl for a while. it was a 10 inch, right?

[suburbredneck]

Lady Carol Love you and all played with pick. WHAT A SOUND James

[fatshoolaces]

A perfect 146 secs <3

[portwoodjeff]

its not just the bass here. this is complete. nothing out of place

[Drewster58]

OK, as an official worshipper at the musical shrine of Joe Pass jazz guitar playing, I am happily shocked and amazed that I have not heard this before. I took classes with John Pisano in the late 1970's and loved Joe before I knew John had played with him for years. Carol, I am in awe of your cool sounds and funky lines - and jammin' with JP hip.

*got chills*

[Johnophean]

This is so amazing, where can someone find this? Is it on CD or did you upload it from the 10" vinyl?

@djronadams69 : hahah the funk is everywhere! but seriously the funk def came from the black side of the planet. good ideas spread out! ;–––)

[donray2]

so addicting

[BassPlayerNcl]

One of the most overlooked bass talents ever. I love that bass tone!

[JMGilberto]

She is a brilliant player, shame she had to try and take credit for JJ's work. It cheapens the halo around such a legend...

[buckandotis]

@JMGilberto while it's true that jamerson's version was used on the record,it is also true that motown and other labels often used several players at different sessions for the same tracks......i have no doubt that carol played i was made to love her,but they went with jamerson's version instead....

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuh!!

[shhhtya]

Luv that bass, huh !

[djronadams69]

Well, it's not. Some of the funkiest bass lines in the '60's were layed down by her. Best example is Stevie Wonder - "I Was Made To Love Her". I started playing bass in soul bands in the late '60's and it took me a long time to get over the realization that I had been "OUTFUNKED" by a white girl.

[coolsweetgroovy]

@djronadams69 you tell it to them P.S. you a Carol Kaye fan too?

[0428mar]

@djronadams69 Jamerson plays bass on "I was made to love".I still love carol.

[PeteZuranbeer]

@0428mar According to Stevie it was Carol that played it and wrote the part.

[msoileau83]

@PeteZuranbeer Proof? Look, I don't buy it. The bass on "I Was Made To Love Her" sounds like it was played with fingers, not a pick...

[TheBassfresh]

@msoileau83 she used thomastik flats ...IMHO u can tell who it is between her, jamerson, an babbitt by the tone...all of them used flats but carol was more precise and her sound had a leading edge to it the other 2 didn't have due to the pick and thomastiks. babbit was a master of hooks, and jamerson...well..like hendrix he was from another planet...and he rarely played on the 2....all great players.

[chu1111111]

wouldnt surprise me if this is James jamerson

[JMGilberto]

@chu1111111

LMAO!

[gnpahdc]

Is she playing the guitar also on this track?

[TRJBASS]

Kaye, Osborn, Jamerson & McCartney the fantastic four.

[TomBourbon]

groovy ...

[whatanightmare1]

That woman is amazing!! If I had her fingers, I would chop mine off.

[TzOsKou]

@whatanightmare1 the truth is that u just learn the wish form :P:P

[coolsweetgroovy]

Thanks Love Carol
